Patience is defined (according to Wikepedia) as :
the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation
without becoming annoyed or upset,
or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties.
Impatience is an opposite of patience.
There are many areas in my life where I am seeing impatience as a character trait instead of patience. So, my goal will be to study what the bible says about patience through out the week and to post on Fridays about what I have learned, what my struggles are, and any new action steps that I will be taking. I have spent so much time reading up on becoming a Proverbs 31 woman that I have let this gem of a passage, Gal 5:22-23, go un-touched for many years. It's about time to tackle this passage and to do some "spring cleaning" in my heart.

I'm looking forward to your future posts about this because it's something I need to work on too!!
Hi! I am one of Sarah's friends and sometimes read your blogs because she has a link to your page on hers. Anyway, I wanted to recommend a GREAT book that deals with all of the fruits of the spirit by Jerry Bridges. It's called "The Fruitful Life: The Overflow of God's Love Through You." I'm currently using it as a springboard for my quiet times and have been challenged and encouraged by it. Hope it helps. I'm encouraged by your blogs and praise the Lord for his grace in your life to give you the desire to life your life centered on Him.
